Injury report: Starting offensive lineman misses practice

Two linemen were officially listed on Thursday’s report

After conducting a walk-through on Wednesday, the Las Vegas Raiders released their first official injury report from practice ahead of the Week 17 contest against the New Orleans Saints. The biggest takeaway is starting left guard Jordan Meredith missed Thursday’s session with an ankle injury.

Meredith missed last week’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars so Jackson Powers-Johnson slid over to left guard while Andre James filled in at center. The Raiders would likely do the same if Meredith can’t go again. Powers-Johnson was limited with quadricep and ankle injuries, but the odds are he’ll still suit up on Sunday.

Also missing practice was running back Dylan Laube, who was listed with an illness after not being on Wednesday’s estimated report. Pass-rusher K’Lavon Chaisson was also a new addition with a foot injury, but Chaisson was a full participant in practice. Linebacker and special teamer Kana’i Mauga was the only other player listed on the report as he was limited with a calf injury.

For the Saints, Derek Carr missed Thursday’s practice with the broken left hand he suffered a few weeks ago, casting more doubt on Carr’s revenge game against the Raiders.
